I know about those changes (mostly anyway), but I was wondering about the
diffrence between a K6-2 and K6-3. This isn't exactly of any use or
importance for me, I'm just curious. I've looked (but not much) on AMDs
pages but they aren't all that good at comparing "old" technology with
"new". Same goes for many other tests, in one of the computer magazines I
read regulary one person had sent a complaint about this since he wondered
if a 30% increase in 3D performence was all was going to get for 250-300USD
more money. He (as well as the magazine) forgot to mention that new tests
are done on faster CPUs thereby making new 3D cards look even better.
